Dragon Valley.
This vast mountain range, home to countless Dragon-type Pokémon, fell silent the instant that dragon roar rang out.
Along with that roar, a powerful Dragon Pressure swept out from somewhere within the valley, spreading in every direction.
This was…
Pressure at the level of a second-tier Legendary!
Feeling the aura rushing toward her, Himeko's heart tightened.
A thought instinctively appeared in her mind.
That sound…
Could it be that Shiko had a second subordinate?
Had he created a second unique second-tier Legendary that belonged to him?
In the next instant, her guess was confirmed.
At the foot of a towering peak, a ten-meter-tall metal beast slowly walked out.
It was a draconic beast covered from head to toe in dark silver alloy armor.
Its right hand was a bright silver, three-clawed hook.
Its left hand took the form of a trident.
Its body was slightly hunched.
At its knees, three bent metal arrowheads folded in reverse like kneecaps.
The most astonishing part was its back.
Two enormous alloy cannon barrels were mounted there.
The muzzles were over two meters in diameter, pitch-black inside, enough to make anyone's heart tremble.
Just one look at this design was enough to tell that it was completely independent from the native Pokémon style of this planet.
Machinedramon's crimson eyes pierced through the obstruction of the many mountains and locked onto the incoming Groudon.
The aura spreading from its body began to gather inward.
Then, it was fully released toward Groudon's position.
Different from MetalSeadramon's aura, Machinedramon's presence was filled with a powerful sense of destruction and ruin.
It made it look like a god of destruction born for that very purpose.
Groudon naturally sensed that aura as well.
Although it could not identify the owner of that presence, the fact that a Pokémon dared to show disrespect toward a first-tier Legendary like itself was already enough to plunge Groudon into endless fury.
An aura hotter than magma, as though it would burn all things to ash, instantly locked onto Machinedramon.
Roar!!
The black linear patterns across Groudon's body began to flicker.
It was as if endless flames were surging and burning within its body.
Immediately afterward, rolling heat waves swept outward.
The terrifying high temperature instantly roasted the lush vegetation nearby into ash.
Even the surrounding air began to distort.
Boom!!
Groudon's aura accumulated to its absolute peak.
At its peak state, it lifted one foot.
Then it stomped heavily onto the ground.
Terrifying physical power poured out in that instant.
The earth let out a muffled boom.
It was like an overwhelmed groan of agony.
Immediately afterward, the entire ground began to tremble violently.
Earthquake?
Shiko watched the move and frowned in thought.
But immediately afterward, he saw the enormous fissure rapidly spreading toward Machinedramon's position.
He also saw the crimson magma beneath the crack, along with the surging, violent energy.
He instantly realized it.
This move…
Was not Earthquake!
It was Groudon's signature exclusive move!
Precipice Blades!!
